Background

I am a Brazilian Portuguese translator focused on medical and life sciences, working from English, French and Spanish. I deliver clear and compliant PT-BR for IFU and device documentation, SmPC and PIL, ICF and patient materials, as well as eCOA and EDC content. My workflows are HIPAA-aware and aligned with EMA style and client glossaries.

Tools: XTM, Trados Studio, memoQ and Xbench, with terminology governance and batch QA to ensure consistency and zero critical issues at delivery. I also support software and game localization for UI strings, store pages and LQA notes with tag safety and length limits handled correctly.
Medical & Pharma
IFU and device docs, SmPC and PIL, ICF and patient materials.
Software & Technical
UI strings, Help Centers, knowledge bases and engineering specs.
Regulatory & Patient
Labeling, compliance, patient instructions and clear risk-benefit language.

I work with agencies and direct clients that require precise terminology and natural flow, from clinical content and device IFU to UI strings, technical documentation and in-game materials.
Process: briefing → terminology → translation or editing → QA (Xbench) → delivery. Confidentiality and punctuality in every project.
